The incident case reports listed are just a sampling of the 24 crime index categories included in the Uniform
Crime Report and selected call classifications as requested by the City Council for tracking, therefore the
totals of the selected categories will not add up to the total number of incidents shown on the last line
above.
As explained previously, the Police Department went to a new records system in July 2016 and statistical categories
are tracked differently than before. In order to provide a closer comparison to last year, traffic stops are included in
the total incidents. Previously they were not in the old RMS system, or in this report.
*The category of Disorderly Conduct/ Disturbing the Peace is also categorized differently in the new system with
subcategories also included whereas previously they were not. For that reason, the percent increase is not shown.
**Also new for 2017 on the monthly statistics are the categories of Medicals, and Mental Health calls. This was
information requested by the City Council to be added to the report.
Traffic stops in June are down significantly over last year; this is in part due to last year’s additional TZD
shifts and additional stops associated with those grant funded overtime details targeting traffic violations.

This year’s TZD had less hours picked up by officers. Also, the increased calls resulted in less time available
for traffic stops.
New as of April, were “heat maps” as requested by council, and now we are able to provide them through
the new RMS system and additional crime mapping software. Additional public access to crime maps was
rolled out in June. Links to the crime maps are provided on the police department webpage and we are
doing extensive marketing of the tool available on www.communitycrimemap.com
